Hi all,
Very interesting. My former neurologist who diagnosed me with ms, came to see me after I was hospitalized and correctly diagnosed with mm by the hospital through an angiogram, she told me that it was only in Japanese people. She was Japanese herself so I took her word for it. (For the record I am Chinese but I love the Japanese culture.)
Yet, when my girlfriend found this board, I found out that it seems to afflict people other than Japanese. Of course, I don't know their ancestry or individual bloodline. But it seems to reach as far as Europe.
I read that 1 out of 2 million people in the US are diagnosed with mm. I was told that it was very rare and the odds of getting it, was like winning the lottery. When I came on this board, I felt comforted by the available support and knowing I wasn't alone.
I guess everybody, or at least 95%, who has mm is on this board. I would say there are approximately 50-75 members on this site. When you think about it, that's 50-75 or so people in the world's population. Wow!
Getting back to the ms, my (former) neurologist wanted me to go on a chemo-like therapy to treat the ms. Good thing she didn't put me on that drug or it would've ruined my future especially when the ms diagnosis is in question.
She just robbed me of 2 years of my life and affected the quality of life for my remaining years, that's all. (For the record, I just turned 30 last year which I celebrated in the hospital). Is there any recourse I can take, legal or otherwise?I like to know what my options are.
